Thank you, Madam Chair, and welcome to all our witnesses.
I know we have very little time. There seems to have been a theme that's cropped up at all our meetings, and that is that there seems to be a lack of federal leadership by our current government on a variety of these important goals and objectives in the 10-year plan. One, in particular, is the national pharmaceutical strategy.
Ms. Smadu, we can't seem to get information on this. What's happening? We don't know if there's a co-chair of the intergovernmental body. What do you think is hindering this process? This appears to be typical of why we're not achieving a lot of these goals quickly enough.
So I'd like to ask you that and give everyone an opportunity, briefly, to put forth recommendations for our committee's report on the plan to strengthen health care.
